Book cover
Place of publication from BL German The plates have been re-etched from those of the 1666 version (Von Himmeln entzindete ...), reversing them. The title ill. of that version has been made a separate plate, and a 5th plate has been added that combines motifs of the preceding plates. Various elements in the 5th plate are numbered, but the numbers are not referenced in the text, which closely parallels that of the 1666 version (though the verbal tense of the narrative has been changed from present to past) Library holds a variant of the 2nd plate, cataloged separately under record no. 88-A169 The date in December, 1666, on which the fireworks display took place (missing on A2v of the 1666 version), is here given as Dec. 8 on the t.p. and on p. 6. The display was arranged by Ernst, Count Abensperg und Traun, and Bartholme Peissker (p. 6) BL German, 1601-1700 Binding: modern vellum over pasteboard, two pairs of rawhide ties at foredge
